If it said "[everyone/most everyone] I worked with is difficult" or "[all/most of] My bosses seem to be idiots" I would agree with you about negativity and red flags. But this is in an article that is 90-95% po

A UX designer or UI artist should absolutely be concerned with these things. Every UI artist I know has asked "How do I do 9-slicing?" on day one. I try to put as much power in the hands of the UI artist; if they have full control

You are probably thinking of WML - wireless markup language. A stripped-down version of HTML that let you do webbish things on devices that could never run a "real" web browser. Sites had to write their own WML pages for mobile us

I love James Burke. The first "Connections" is available on Kanopy if you have a library card. Lots of episodes on Youtube too. "The Day the Universe Changed" was my intro to Burke; I loved it as a child an still as an

Good trick. I keep a separate list of "dumb little things" to fix that don't require much thought or effort. I'll grab something from that list, which makes it easy to start; then once the editor is open I start getting
